Ten Steps to a Web Site by FrontPage!
- Choose File / New / Web.
- Click Personal
Web, a good simple model to start from.
- Click Navigation
at the left to see the flowchart of your beginning Web site.
- You can change the names of the pages to suit your
needs. Right-click on the page and select
Rename.
- You can add as many New Pages as you like. Either
click the parent page (the one you want the
New Pages to appear below)
and press the Insert key on your keyboard, or right-click the parent
page and choose New Page.
- To add content to a particular page, jump to that
page by double-clicking it in Navigation, or by
clicking the page name
in the Folder List at the left.
- If you don’t like the design (“theme”) of your
starter site, right-click in any page and then choose
Theme. Click any
of the themes listed (the Guild’s theme is Romanesque); a sample
page will
be displayed. If you like it, click OK, and the theme will
be applied to all the pages of your site simultaneously.
- To alter the placement of the links to your child
pages (maybe you want them at the top of the
page, or maybe running
along the side, or some combination):
* If you want links at the top of the page (like the Guild site),
right-click in the top of the page, then
choose Navigation Bar Properties, then Child pages under Home.
* Choose Format / Shared Borders.
- Save periodically (File / Close Web, then choose a
name).
- If you have registered a domain name with a Web
host, you can put your site on the Web as soon
as you like. Save it
all, then choose File / Publish Web. It will ask you for your domain
name. Enter
it, press Publish, and await your Web debut!
Two frequent points of confusion with FrontPage:
To get around: When you want to get to a particular page in your Web
site, click Navigation at the
left,
or click the page name in the
Folder list at the right.
To change the names of pages, or
to change what’s at the top of a page: Click
Navigation and do it from there. Trying to change it on the page itself will
screw things up.
